Practicing Skillshots

I feel like I'm missing more skillshots than I should be/used to be, mainly with Braum (Q & R) and Jhin (W & R), especially to poke in lane with, what would you recommend I (and anyone reading this who is in the same boat) do to improve my skillshot hit-rate? Go into a custom/ARAM/normals/ranked and just focus on hitting them?

Also, when poking, what should be done to get around people side steeping the abilities? (e.g. trying to poke when they are busy (when they are using a skillshot or trying to last hit a CS))

You pretty much answered your own questions.
Either play aram and hope you get lux or just spam skillshot champions, suck ass foe 5 games then start applying the beat down.
Also, yeah, poking while theyre busy is great since it forces the opponent to chose between taking the damage and getting the cs.

Overall Jhin's W and R are hard to hit, but that doesn't mather here.I will be able to answer you if you tell me are you playing with smartcast or not?

Quickcast, no UI.

Well, definitely not ranked if you want to practice your ability to land skillshots. For custom, if you can grab a friend or so and have him dodge the skillshots, then it would be awesome. My recommendation would be ARAM. The pace is quicker than Rift, you get to spam skills more often than Rift, ARAM map is smaller and there are always people running around so it's easier to land skillshots, but sometimes may be harder if you are trying to hit a single target.

Or you could always open up sandbox mode and start practicing. :)

I dont want to be rude or anything, but in bronze if you are playing a champion who has skillshot, you are doing it wrong. You should play mechanically easy champions to get better overall in the game, then you can change to harder champions. Its only my opinion.

May I ask if you based this on facts or on opinion/preconceptions? Also, what division are you in ranked?

(I'm not trying to be rude either, I'd just like to have a bit more insight into your viewpoint.)

Im not a high elo player (only gold), i just have experienced so much higher winrates with non-skillshot champions, i can pay attention more stuff around myself. When i have to make a good play, I can execute it more properly, thats all.
